In late 2021 we had EKS nodes shit the bed for no apparent reason. Max out CPU and couldn't SSH in. They'd get recreated eventually by EC2 (multiple hours) despite being tainted in k8s pretty quickly. We ran with N+2 nodes to deal with it. After dutifully updating EKS releases and AMIs it seems to have fixed itself last year. EKS seems to be fine generally, but it would be nice if they didn't release new AMIs with missing commits??
